This past week, I took another trip to the Orpheum Lofts in Phoenix and was able to snap a few more pics of this cool building and it’s pool, conference room, steam room, and patio area. I love the look of this “old” building in downtown Phoenix. The architecture of this residential building stands out […]
Increased Enforcement Coming For METRO Fare Evasions
Everyone knows the saying that “crime doesn’t pay.” In Phoenix, there has recently been an increased police presence near several of METRO’s light rail stations, and it sounds like there will be increased enforcement on cheapskates trying to ride for free. According to a recent report, roughly 1/3 of the people that don’t buy a […]
Sports Along The Line…
A quick bi-weekly look at the sports world along the line. Junior quarterback Steven Threet looks like the real deal… His 307 yds/game is 5th nationally, and take away a couple bad passes last week and Oregon might have 1 loss… The Dbacks made a move that should have happened a few years back by bringing […]

Once again, we will be RailGating before the ASU football game with our friends from Smokin’ Aces BBQ. Since the Oregon Ducks are in town, we thought it would be a great time to try a new dish, and Kevin has agreed to roast up some duck for our railgating pleasure. If you haven’t joined […]
Modern Streetcar – Stretching The Mill Avenue District
Last night’s meeting to discuss the Tempe South High Capacity Study had many interesting components. I’ll cover more in the future, for sure. One of the more interesting ( to me ) components had to do with the recommendation of a fairly recent idea of the Mill / Ash loop with a Modern Streetcar. A […]

Gene often performs for companies like Lucent, Google, UBS, The NFL, Microsoft and more, […]
